You are definitely not the only one @Trachemysta , My Star Photo and many other guides have photos that have not moved in over 3 months and I doubt if the majority ever will again. Gone are the days when we received a million views in a couple of months.
I checked leaderboard #405 for the last 2 months and I checked the top 20 guides , Only one guide had any movement on a Star photo
There has been many conversations on this topic and I will tag some of the guides who were part of it. But part of the conversation was that newer guides may never reach the numbers that old timers like myself did.
One idea, was maybe it was possible to create an new leaderboard for newer published “star photos” but what parameters could we use. It got me thinking.
Maybe we could create a “Yearly Star Photo”.
Obviously the best place to show this would be within @AdamGT 's top 100 leaderboards. I don’t know know if this would be even possible. Adam already spends so much time on the leaderboards and I just don’t know if its feasible.
What would be the parameters for this .
- Photo has to be uploaded in the calendar year 2026. to check this Desktop shows and mobile show a date. See examples.
Yes you would have to manually go through your photos for the current year, easy to do now but would be much tougher in December of this year.
The purpose of this leaderboard is to put all us guides on a level playing field for the year. We would all start at Zero .I believe it would encourage even more guides to join the Yearly Star Photo board.
Waiting for @AdamGT 's comments on this , Tagging the following who in different posts have commented on this @WilfriedB @tony_b @StevenBerlin @Yaryman @abermans @marcorp @palmad1 and may have some ideas on how we could do this.
I know I have forgot some but please jump in.
